I am now the mama of a TODDLER. Somebody hold me, please.

| Has his teddy bear and is ready for his check-up! |
 |
| Waiting the ridiculously long wait. Sheesh. |
 |
| Seriously, what's the point in the paper? | |
 |
| "Parents, please do not let children play with instruments." |
 |
| Really? So you put them WHERE?! |
 |
| I own this room. |
Yes, Corbin is now 1 year old. His birthday and party were last Saturday. I did my very best to not overwhelm myself and get so caught up in hosting that I couldn't enjoy myself. I'd say it was better than my wedding reception, but still not as "enjoyable" for me as I wish it had been. Hindsight is 20/20. Next year, rent the facility for longer than actually intended so we aren't shoving people out the door as they're shoving cake in their mouths. Just sayin'. Sorry y'all.
Anyway, I wanted to give a quick little update on my 12 month old (there, doesn't that sound better than 1 year old?).
